(Scene: Sunday school)
Teacher: Good morning children!
Students: Good morning!
Teacher: Do you want to learn a new chorus today?
Students: YES
Teacher: OK we will sing a very old hymn today. It is hymn no 92 Amazing grace..
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed.
(as the students sing the chorus, Girl enters along with a Robo t)

Teacher: See, he has good knowledge about bible, but cannot accept the truth in it.
Boy1: Girl, you said the Bible is stored in his memory!
Girl: Yes, but…. I thought he would believe it!
Teacher: He may have the whole Bible in his memory. But it is only by God’s grace any one can believe in Christ’s death and resurrection.
Boy2: God has given his grace only to the humans, not even to animals!
Girl1: We must thank God for giving us the grace to believe Him.
Teacher: Girl, you tried to study the Bible with the help of this machine. But it failed. Now try studying with the help of God’s Grace.
Girl: Yes madam, I will never go after the intelligence of this world. Please pray for me.
Teacher: This is what we sang a few minutes ago - about the amazing grace of our God. Shall we sing it again?
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
was blind, but now I see.
